This week on Let's Talk, Carl, Lisa, and Hollis dive deep into the tenure of Marshall Football’s Coach Charles Huff, discussing the uncertainty surrounding his future in Huntington. Carl makes the case for Huff being one of the Herd’s best coaches ever, and the panel highlights his legacy and standout moments with the program.The conversation then shifts to tension in sports and the ethics of stoking rivalries, sparked by recent flag-planting incidents. The panel debates whether such actions are unsportsmanlike or add fuel to the excitement of competition.

In the second half, the group examines how smaller schools like Marshall can navigate the modern era of NIL, using Randy Moss as an example of a player who might have been difficult to retain today. They explore the value of NIL, scholarships, and what it takes for smaller programs to compete in the evolving landscape of college athletics.
